A fluid change may help diminish the whine but I wouldn't expect it to ever completely disappear. If it becomes bothersome you could always do another mod that is louder than the gear whine.

what was the interval on that used fluid? Looks alot darker than what I take out

The mobil1 75w90 I just swapped out was probably a 50-50 mix between the two in terms of color.. interval 12k

I was running a test at the time, so it was a short interval of about 3000 miles. You will find that the color is not indicative of miles driven. It will get that color very quickly and won't go much darker even after several more thousands of miles.
